I love how it's overtly christian- and why not indeed?I also love the practical examples and it moves at a good steady but not too fast pace. You don't have to do all the review exercises at the end of each lesson. In Australia you can get an ozzie edition from LEM for the money etc which can be used in New Zealand too.(ps I used to be a primary/elementary teacher for 6 years from grades 4-8) We use Rod and Staff and love it.

I can use it all the way through High School. I love the format that teaches one concept at a time and then reinforces it. Let me know if you want more information. :) Andrea,

I will definitely NOT recommned switched on schoolhouse. We have found it to be VERY frustrating. Not the math, just navigating the program. Some of the ways the questions are put in the assignments is very confusing trying to figure out HOW they want you to answer. AND, I have frequently found mistakes in the lessons/assignments. I've looked at Saxon because that's what it seems everyone recommends, but looking through the books, I'M confused. A Beka has looked promising to me, but my husband really wants to look seriously at Teaching Textbooks... I'm a little hesitant to use another computer program after my bad experience with SOS. Anyone who has used Teaching Textbooks, is the program free of 'glitches'? Is it clear and consistent how you are to answer the questions? I want my kids to learn MATH, not how to navigate a confusing program. I’m looking for a new one as well. I will definitely NOT recommned switched on schoolhouse.
